"The cement industry is one of the two largest producers of carbon dioxide (CO2), creating up to 5% of worldwide man-made emissions of this gas, of which 50% is from the chemical process and 40% from burning fuel."

Another one who is blissfully unaware of how the world got to be the way it is.

Look, I'm done. There is no way to bridge the gap of understanding between us. Educate yourself. Please.

Stick to physics, chemistry, facts, and history. And keep the references to hard ons to zero.

Then get back to us.

LOL. You can NOT be serious.

How will you FEED all these people?

" and the widespread use of chemical fertilizers"

You can NOT sustain our present human population with sunshine and puppies. Vaccines or not.

You seriously misunderstand just about everything.

Try this

"which plant has the most anuses"

AI Overview
The plant with the most "anuses" (or rather, the most posterior ends with a functional digestive system) is the marine worm Ramisyllis multicaudata. This worm, found in sponges off the coast of Australia, has a single head but can have hundreds of branching bodies, each ending in a separate posterior end with a functional anus.

While plants don't have anuses in the traditional sense, R. multicaudata is notable for its multiple, branching posterior ends, each with its own anus. This is highly unusual for an animal, as most animals have a single posterior end. The worm's body branches repeatedly, and with each branch, the digestive system, along with other organs, is duplicated, resulting in multiple posterior ends.

The animal with the most anuses is the marine worm Ramisyllis multicaudata. This worm has a branching body structure, with each branch ending in a separate anus, resulting in hundreds of anuses.

I giggled like a simpleton at "resulting in hundreds of anuses". Guess what I asked here

The question is a bit misleading, as most mammals have only one scrotum. However, when discussing the animal with the largest testicles relative to its body size, the tuberous bush cricket (Platycleis affinis) stands out. Their testes can account for up to 14% of their body weight, according to BBC Earth Explore.

Yes, please describe how that solar panel came into being. Try it without the fossil fuel foundation of every single item we use. Everything from the rubber tires of the delivery trucks to the food the workers eat.

You are blind to what's around you. If you think we're going to support 8 billion people living a Western lifestyle without fossil fuels, I'm afraid it's not me who isn't bright.

How do you support our present industrial civilization with windmills and watermills? We already had these, why did we give them up?

You're completely oblivious.

"better, more advanced ways of generating power."

But we don't. We don't "generate" power. We harvest energy. And once our little geological energy reserve is drawn down, how do you plan on keeping our present arrangements going?

You haven't explained how you plan to make fertilizers, concrete, plastics, with electricity? And you don't simply "light oil on fire"... Where did the iron come from to make engines? Coal, oh yeah.

You also think we'll just spin copper wire and rare earth magnets from sunshine...

Please go back to AI vibe coding.

Oh I am greatly entertained by asking various AIs "which animal has the most anuses" etc

It has a penis longer than its entire body. Before I get eaten by a bird, I want to parade that thing around.

I'd be a thistle tortoise beetle.

"Lane"? Do you have any idea how many green spaces and trees are being destroyed to build WEF "densified" condos everywhere?

How would I know? Are they trying to quit smoking?

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

That's what geocached samizdat is for, silly boy! Or pirate radio, or pirate OTA TV (HD or NTSC for extra cred).

 

I regularly find HDDVDs and the best part is they're always priced as a DVD. This one looks new. Maybe it was part of a starter bundle with someone's player years ago.

I don't even care about Star Wars due to my crippling cynicism, but for $4.50 who cares!

 

Hey for $4.50, I'm pretty happy, plus it comes with a Bluray. I hope my next thrift find is a UHD player...

 

I noticed the "coming soon" sign a while back and now it's open. It's definitely a sense of "déjà vu", it looks pretty much like a Value Village in its layout, prices are the same. Lots of clothes, pots and pans, a few shelves of electronics, and lots of DVDs and VHS. Plus it's a 5 minute walk from the St Jacques Renaissance.

I thought those were just standard embossed letters but they're actually stickers and look really good. This is why I like physical media. And 1980s cheese.

 

Couldn't believe it. Not a big fan or anything but I paid 10$ for both sets.

 

Another one of my lucky finds. It's in pretty good shape but needs new belts. It's a monster to take apart and I don't have any belts so it's a bookend for now. 20$ is reasonable, and it looks so cool.

 

Heathkit Model O-12 tube oscilloscope. Found this among old suitcases and kid's toys at a Friperie Renaissance/Goodwill in Montréal. It still works, it's clean, I didn't need to do anything and it powered up.

 

In the last few months I decided to see what I could find on DVD and Blu-ray. It's a matter of luck and persistence but I do find good stuff now and then. Anyone else find missing Blu-rays from combo Blu-ray and DVD sets? Or DVD-Rs instead of pressed? And how do some people manage to scratch their discs so impressively?

 

Haven't seen this street performer in many years. Don't know if it's the same guy, he does look plumper now. In front of St James United March 8 afternoon.
